Day 1!

  • yesterday I started atkins...I won't count my breakfast because I started at lunch (had to go grocery shoppin in the morning) here is what I ate, tell me what you think!

    Lunch:
    small salad (almost 1 cup?) with spinach, romaine, and mozerella (no dressing)
    small piece of grilled fish covered in garlic butter
    7 cheese cubes

    Dinner: 3 egg omelette with grilled chicken, spinach, tomato, onion, and cheddar cheese

    snack: cheese cubes (my jello wasnt ready yet! heh)

    total net carbs: 13NC
    (i had more, i had a muffin for breakfast which in itself had 15nc! but didnt start atkins till lunch so I'm not counting it!)
  • Sounds good but don't go too low.....you should be at 20 net carbs per day. I know yesterday with the muffin you had you would have been but since we aren't counting that ......

    You may need to also watch the amount of cheese you have especially in induction. It slows down some people...but me...I would be lost without it. Although once you have been on this for a while you don't want as much cheese.
    You can have dressing on your salad too...just watch what the label says. Stay away from sugars.

    lol everyone keeps asking me why i didnt have dressing...well...i just dont like dressing! hehe...im weird i know...i am a cheese lover...i guess i should limit it a little more though...i have it with almost every meal...i need to find some kind of sauce to flavor my food other than melting cheese on everything...any ideas? like chicken or ground beef patties topped with?
  • Don't forget the water!!!! Sorry, I've no idea of what to put over everything. Maybe a spicy mustard? Or some type of seasoning? Or how about Worceshire sauce?
